EpiQuin Micro

Epiquin Micro is designed to help with Hyperpigmentation.

Included in this is postinflammatory hyperpigmentation which appears as dark patches that develop from injury to the skin. Sometimes it's caused by skin disorders like acne, eczema and contact dermatitis. Other times, cosmetic procedures or reactions to cosmetics can produce postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Skin trauma: Trauma may be due to inflammatory skin disorders such as acne, eczema, and contact dermatitis. Sometimes cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, waxing, and electrolysis maybe the cause. Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs at the site of injury, which can appear anywhere on the body. Men and women have the same risk of developing postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Gradual release therapy.EpiQuin® Micro provides treatment throughout the day. The Microsponge® system uses microscopic reservoirs that entrap hydroquinone and retinol and gradually releases them over a period of hours. This provides the skin with continuous exposure to hydroquinone and retinol over time, which may help minimize skin irritation.

EpiQuin Micro is the only hydroquinone 4% formulated with Microsponge® technology and retinol. The retinol provides improvement in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing the skin's appearance. Antioxidants vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) help protect against free-radical damage. EpiQuin Micro is a safe, steroid-free formulation that can be used for both acute and maintenance therapy without the potential harmful side effects of long term steroid use. EpiQuin Micro should be tested for skin sensitivity prior to use.
